Abstract

The availability of ultrashort laser pulses, with sufficient energy per pulse to ionize and fragment a molecule, has permitted us to develop a technique whereby the rapid dynamics involved in laser multiphoton ionization and dissociation processes may be followed. By using two picosecond pulses of lasers of different colors (266 nm and 532 nm) and variable delay between them as a source for a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, it is possible to monitor the energy redistribution processes occurring in the excited electronic states of the parent molecule and ion on the picosecond timescale. This is carried out by following the changes in the observed mass spectrum as a function of the delay between the two pulses.

The technique is applied to understand the mechanism of formation of some ionic fragments from 2,4-hexadiyne and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.
